This course summarizes the results of a brief investigation of the long-term application of vinyl sheet piles to address some of the concerns raised in an Engineering and Construction Bulletin about the integrity, durability, impact damage, construction standards, and allowable design of commercially available PVC sheet piles.

Although material degradation may not be a factor in long-term performance, the selection of sheet pile design and installation must consider the impact of the low modulus of elasticity.

Engineer Learning Objectives:

An understanding of PVC and its use and performance in construction

Knowledge of sheet piling and its applications

Familiarity with industry literature and manufacturers data

Knowledge of the impact of untraviolet (UV) light-exposed PVC

IZOM impact test knowledge for UV-exposed PVC plates

Understanding of the accelerated aging tests

Applicability of field obersavitions and learnings

This is a handout style PDH class that comprehensively reviews the specification.
